Wonderful - We had a beautiful sunny day. The boat ride was so enjoyable. Great views, we took a lot of pics, and met other people. Jack the captian was amazing (helpful, informative and funny). Mark was also very knowledgeable about the area and gave great recommendations on places to go. Just a wonderful, relaxing and fun experience.

Must do in TC! - Excellent boat cruise. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Nice snacks and drinks on-board. Boat was clean and comfortable. Captain Jack spoke just the right amount, very informative, but also gave breaks so we could just enjoy the ride.
